Compared to 60fps, you can slow it down to a 1/4 of the speed while maintaining smooth frames. It really does make some nice slo mo, couldn't image higher frame rates Also you only loose a small bit of quality when comparing to 1080, so it's my favorite mode to shoot in.

Don't get me wrong, the 1080 looks really nice, but for shooting rc cars the slow motion beats high quality IMO. But it depends on what you're filming, some times you need that crisp quality. Check out my youtube channel. I've done plenty of onboard and steady cam shooting. I also put what mode I was shooting in, usually in the the description.

But as far as the Hero4, I haven't heard anything yet
